Little
brother, total piss-head, brown belt Shotokan
(Karate),
half-cut in a club in Stirling, Scotland.
Cornered by two out of town heavies looking for
trouble. and realising he couldn't talk his way out of it
or run away, he opted for the strike first and hard. The
theory being, that by taking out one of the gorillas,
there would be only one to worry about worry about
when it got to the free-style round. He opted for a
favourite blow which involved turning 90 degrees and
driving his right foot through the chin area of his target.
Choosing the right moment he delivered a full on
attack, but having downed half a dozen pints of lager
and being slightly the worse for wear, his beautifully
executed kick stopped two inches in front of the guys
nose! Seeing his life pass before his eyes he was only
too pleased to hear a somewhat surprised thug
saying, "OK mate, got the message,
we were leaving
anyway." Not realising at all
that my brother really
was trying to take his head off.
